Scientific Games Corporation has announced that it has entered into an agreement for the acquisition of Tech Art, one of the gaming industry’s leading suppliers of hole-card readers for blackjack.
The acquisition will see Scientific Games offer Tech Art’s MAXTime 4H product – a combination of a blackjack hole-card reader and a chip tray – as well as the proprietary table games “Super Fun 21” and “Bet the Bust.” It will also provide Scientific Games with the opportunity to market MAXTime 4H internationally through the company’s expansive distribution network, “helping casinos across the world increase play speed and enhance the security of blackjack games.”
In a statement, Scientific Games said that the planned acquisition is “another example of Scientific Games’ continued investment in solutions that help the company better partner with their casino customers and offer the broadest portfolio of innovative products in the industry.”
The deal is expected to be completed during 1Q18.
